Theorem cleljust 2150
Description: When the class variables in Definition df-clel 2836 are replaced with setvar variables, this theorem of predicate calculus is the result. This theorem provides part of the justification for the consistency of that definition, which "overloads" the setvar variables in wel 2142 with the class variables in wcel 2141. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.) Revised to use equsexvw 2024 in order to remove dependencies on ax-10 2174, ax-12 2211, ax-13 2402. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, that is, on the variables of the left-hand side, as should be the case for definitions. (Revised by BJ, 29-Dec-2020.)
